[QUOTE="anton, post: 55785, member: 176045"] Thanks for that info but to me that doesn't make sense and it really is strange if it works like that for you. If the same channel was being broadcast simultaneously on two different frequencies that would be obvious (the tuner being more sensitive to one of the two frequencies) but as you say, you just manually tuned in the same frequency. (I don't think the signal for one particular channel is being sent from two transponders -superfluous-on the other hand, if it was, then it should be two different frequencies-otherwise how would the tuner discern?) Anyway, desperate as I was then, it was the first thing I tried too, but adding manually then selecting via other channels didn't help in my case. And Ch4 wasn't the worst either- during the one week I observed the situation the radios from tp32 were the first to go, reality TV was the second most affected, then BBC R2&4 etc.. Every evening they would start disappearing in the above order. I since then tried a bigger dish for one week during which there were no problems and I am now back to my original smaller dish which I spent a lot of time finetuning and so far the problem hasn't reappeared. But the signal readings are not as good as they used to be- before I had 100/80 (strenght/quality and that is on the default transponder) now it is still 100 for strength but with only 50-70 quality) [/QUOTE]
